Bump - The same thing as raise. "Bump" it up.
The poker term bump is just another way poker players say
raise. It is not heard often, but often
enough to make note of it.
Raising is an integral part of poker. It is used to manipulate the
pots and the situation. For example, if four
players limp into a pot and the
button has
position he might raise to build a bigger
pot. In another situation, a player might raise on the
turn in second position to drive out the weak
draws behind him. No matter what the reason, raising usually accomplishes gaining information on an opponent.
Although raising (or bumping it up) is necessary to be a great well-rounded player, players must find a balance with it
just as they should with any other move they might consider.
